Is it legal for me to use a monometer to check the gas pressure at the meter
and at the boiler ?

If you are a owner occupier, ie not a landlord, then it is not illegal.

Good working practice says you should check after replacing the 'screw'
blanking using leak-spray.

If you are checking leak rates then there are some procedures you need
to go through to get a true value.

A couple of months ago the boiler wouldn't fire up and the engineer phoned
the gas people and got them out to replace a faulty regulator the all was
fine...the boiler is at it again indicating the same error and I would just
like to knew if the new regulator has failed......

well I don't want to test it the phone the gas board and tell them the

bolloxing....yes I know...gas board...tee hee

For your own boiler? No problem. Its a manometer that you want though,
not a monometer .

If your boiler is having problems with supply pressure and your regulator
has been changed it may be that your pipe work is underspecced for the gas
demand.

While it's a mugs game to admit to do any work, for fear of
consequential liability, I can't see any legal issue for being "found out"?

Yes and it might also be a good idea to ask around to see if gas issues are
locally high. If they have not replaced mains for many many years some
places have so little gas pipe left its te clay in the soil which is acting
as the pipe in some places!

If its not their gear, just like the other service folk they charge you.

I do not know who you would call. In London up to some point its one company
then another. This has to be the most inefficient way to run a gas supply
system.

Depends on the gas. Sir Humphrey Davy used to have nitrous oxide parties
with his chums, but current legislation says that anything that makes
you feel good is illegal unless it's on a government approved list.
